TrustNordisk has closed a number of deals on Susanne Bier´s upcoming feature A Second Chance, which will start shooting later this month.
The film was announced just ahead of AFM, where pre-sales started.
Deals have been done for Germany and Austria (Prokino), Australia and New Zealand (MadMan), Japan (Longride), Benelux (Cineart), Israel (Lev Cinema) and Former Yugoslavia (Discovery). There are further negotiations ongoing with a slew of other territories.
“Prokino is very happy to work again with Susanne Bier, Sisse Graum Jørgensen and the great team at Trust on this wonderful script, a very human drama with so many clever twists, that it kept us on the edge of our seats while reading it,“ said Ira von Gienanth, Managing Director for Aquisitions at Prokino.
“The massive interest from buyers at AFM for Susanne Bier´s new film underlines her status as a star director who knows how to touch the audience in the most powerful way. We are so happy to have all these dedicated distributors aboard,” added Rikke Ennis, CEO at TrustNordisk.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will star in the drama about how just and unjust is blurred by tragedy.
Sisse Graum Jørgensen produces for Zentropa Entertainments14 in co-production with Zentropa International Sweden, Film i Väst, with support from The Danish Film Institute, FilmFyn, The Swedish Film Institute, Nordisk Film & TV Fond and Eurimages, in cooperation with DR, SVT.
